I have learned a lot and grown tremendously at BCBG. My knowledge of fashion industry processes has grown due to all the day to day work. The workload is quite heavy and can be hectic, so you must be prepared for the job/day. My co-workers have been so amazing- wonderful people to work with. Overall, a stable pace to work with consistency.

This was also a great place to work and I loved working for one of the top fashion companies. I learned how to manage all the day to day tasks such as paying the utility bills of over 400 stores and keep track of the lease expirations.

I had the opportunity to have my ideas and voice heard at BCBGMAXAZRIA Corporate. I was encouraged to bring new ideas and my manager listened and implemented many of them. I was asked to attend meeting with executives to present the ideas and strategies I worked on. I was able to grow and learn more about other areas of the company. BCBG is a great place to work if you like working in a collaborative environment and are comfortable with change.

I had no experience in costing but the job taught me a lot about how to talk to vendors and what needed to be done to make sure deadlines were met. The work environment was very fast paced but I learned how to multitask and work under pressure. Management and my co-workers were very helpful. The hardest part of the job was learning how to use the different programs used for checking inventory, costing, design, etc., but all of it was enjoyable in the end.

Your review is Very True, worst company to work for. Stay Very far away......

Store Manager (Former Employee), Las Vegas, NV – November 15, 2012

Pros: 70% off discount

Cons: difficult dm, rm and area managers, low salaries, little to no breaks, refusal of promotions, and double standards

They have an unorganized corporate office, difficult District and Regional Managers, low salaries, little to no breaks, refusal of promotions, and double standards!The DM is nonexistent and always on vacation. The RM is rude and condescending towards the employees and spends more time rolling her eyes rather than giving the employees adequate coaching and solutions to resolve an issue. The area manager tells you not to do it one way but has a double standard and turns around and does it that way in her store, (such as allowing her employees to get change off the clock). Don't ever plan on meeting the owners of the company because when they do come to your store you will be told not to speak to them and their entourage unless spoken to first!I worked 360 hours in overtime in my first year with the company which took precious time away from my family. I was told by the area manager that you are expected to work over 40 hours a week as a manager. I was salary so I was not compensated nor was I ever thanked for my hard work. In my 2nd and 3rd year I was told we would not receive any raises because it was not in the budget. I had heard that the company was in financial trouble and that would explain why they cut off our supply ordering for the last year. It made getting simple things such as toilet paper difficult. In our store, we were short staffed in managers 65% of the time which made taking 30 minute breaks after 6 hours of work impossible, (policy is that there has to be a manager and another employee in the store as all times). The company rarely promotes within, electing to hire outside of the company instead. When they do promote, they move you to a higher volume store and don't give you a raise only a different job title. The ONLY benefit of this company is the 70% off manager’s discount.

Company demands a lot and does not pay well. No support from upper management or corporate office, they expect you to know it all and if something goes wrong, it is your fault. Discount is great, fashion and culture is nice if you are very into fashion. You have to really enjoy the industry to make it with this company.

Best battleground to learn everything about contemporary , ready to wear and high end fashion,tracking of samples, meeting with design to discuss lines,trims and sourcing , tech pack allocation, communicating with overseas vendors daily to meet monthly delivery deadlines, photoshoots and commercials . Excellent company to learn what it really takes to succeed in the fashion industry
